Is MBAM better, or is microsoft defender enough if you download from trusted sources?

Do you consider Nyaa safe? (I’d like to get a visual novel or two that I haven’t purchased on steam yet)

Regarding other games, I always used pirate bay and I’ve been fine, 10 years ago though. Are the website listed in the wiki generally safe?

    Virtual Machines are not a good way to test if something has malware. Most viruses are programmed to not do anything if they detect that they’re being ran in a VM.

      Did they say to test it in a vm? It looks to me like they’re saying to run it in a vm since it’s untrusted

        Yes but in a VM you have to make sure you PASSTHROUGH a GPU. Maybe OP can execute games by another user without privileges. Like execute app as not admin, or user.
